A Beaumont woman was arrested for allegedly stabbing her friend with a kitchen knife while drinking early Saturday morning.

Ebony Living, 31, was arrested when police arrived to the apartment complex and found a 57-year-old man suffering from a stab wound to the chest around 6:14 a.m. at the 6500 block of Lexington Drive, Officer Carol Riley said.

Living was reportedly drinking with the man at the apartment when they got into an argument and she allegedly stabbed him with a kitchen knife two times, Riley said.

The man was taken to CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth hospital where he was treated for life threatening injuries.

He is in critical condition.

Living was booked at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
